4th Gen Scramble Challenge Thread!

Games in this gen: Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver

What is a "Scramble Challenge"?

The Scramble Challenge involves playing through the storyline and beating the game seeing the credits) with a team of six Pokemon which are assigned to you by other people on this forum. You may also be given certain guidelines, limitations, and restrictions concerning the Pokemon, usually by the person who suggested the Pokemon themselves. However, you may also create limitations for yourself.

The goal of the Scramble Challenge is to be able to complete the game without using the most powerful Pokemon, or your own favorites. It encourages you to think outside the box and make the most of what you are given.

Always mention your planned team (based on others' responses) when you ask for more team members, so others know what has already been suggested.

You may create your own set of (minor) restrictions concerning gameplay - just be sure to mention those as well. If you have a lot of/and or major restrictions though consider using the 'Hit Me With Your Best Shot!' threads instead.

Just because of the fact that not everyone is on the same level experience-wise, you may reject team suggestions. However, please don't abuse this. If you feel that you need a really easy challenge, say so.

Typically, no Legendaries and no duplicates are allowed. Apparently, trading in any form (except for evolution) is discouraged, as well as post-Nat. Dex Pokémon, but if you wish to use a traded Pokemon you may,

Note that it's your game, and you can change the difficulty, limitations, and pretty much anything else, to suit your playing style. For example, if you want to breed in one game and send things over.

Please limit your suggestions to one per team (if it's rejected, you may suggest again), so that everyone can contribute. If the challenger's team goes two or more pages without a suggestion, you may suggest a maximum of an extra one, but no more.

Purposely giving challengers blatantly terrible choices (Lillipup that may not evolve at all, etc.) is against the spirit of the game and will not be tolerated.

Make sure all your suggestions are directed clearly. Using "@" is encouraged.

Enjoy! It's a game, after all!

A parody of the Pokemon Colosseum game, full of pastries and Miror B.
Completed. Four times winner of Best Comedy/Funniest Fic.Avatar: minty-fivestar on DA, edited background/cropping. Fic banner: cieux.

A Platinum Scramble. I will not accept Move Restrictions, There must be a maximum of two shared types across the whole team. No nicknames, I do that myself. Oh, and I must use my starter, which will be Piplup. I will not use a Pokemon that is Grass type.

Proby3 for you Platinum: take a Magnemite that evolves to Magneton after reaching Iron Island. Evolve to Magnezone only after you reach Spear Pilalr.

Also if you want, your restrictions for the Piplup will be- evolve to Prinplup after it defeats any 'fish' pokemon (besides Magikarp) using only Water moves. Evolve to Empoleon after defeating the final evolution of any fish pokemon (not counting Octillery/Gyarados/Milotic- it has to be fish-shaped).

For your Heart Gold-

Take a Clamperl that evolves to Huntail when it can defeat a Cloyster.

Platinum Scramble
- Pipin (Piplup)- Must defeat a fish Pokemon [not Magikarp] using water moves to evolve. Must defeat the final eovlution of a fish Pokemon to evolve [Must defeat a Pokemon that is a fish]
- Magnemite (Magnus)- Evolve once once I reach Iron Island. Evolve second time one I reach Sky Pillar.

I'm denying Bronzor, sorry. I specifically said that there must not be more than tow shared types. That's separate types. Empoleon is part Steel, and Magnemite is part Steel. Sorry.
So for everyone else, no more Steel!

okay so far : -Take a Snubbull. It can evolve into Granbull only after soloing Whitney.
-take a Diglett that evolves after you clear the Team Rocket secret base in Mahogany Town.
-totodile must Solo Bugsy to evolve once and must defeat five wild Pokemon with a type advantage to evolve twice.

zanthon- can I please have a Gallade instead? Make the requirements really tough, but I really don't want to use a Gardevoir, let alone a Male one, which is just wrong... and I really want to sue Gallade in a playthrough, I never have and he's like my second favourite Pokemon ever.
Would that be OK? I honestly don't mind if you make the requirements really hard if you accept that I can use Gallade instead.

Proby3 Take a Croagunk on Platinum that only has to solo 1 of any Gym Leader's Pokemon

Proby3 On HeartGold for your Totodile has to solo 1 of any trainer in Whitney's Gym to evolve into Croconaw, and any other Gym trainer in any other Gym to be able to evolve into Feraligatr. Have fun and good luck!

pages014 Take a Mareep that can evolve into Flaaffy once it solos Falkner's Pidgey. To evolve into Ampharos it must solo 2 Gym Leader Pokemon, any Leader, can be from 2 different Leaders. Have fun and good luck!

Ok, so no one can give me ANYTHING that is Fighting or Steel type any more. The types you give me cannot clash in any way with what I have now. So it cannot be Water, Fighting, Steel, Psychic, Poison or Electric.
@Satori- denying that upon the grounds of restrictions. They're too hard, sorry.
For my Platinum, bear in mind I CAN TRADE. I have HG after all, and a Diamond version hanging around. So pleas,e give me something form another generation.

HeartGold Water/??? Monotype/Scramble/Nuzlocke challenge.
- Toto (Totodile)- Must solo a trainer in Whitney's gym to evolve once. Must solo a trainer in any other gym to evolve twice.
- Clamperl (Hunter)- Evolves into Huntail once it defeats a Cloyster.
- Quilfish (Puff Daddy)- No restrictions.

Denying Gyarados as well because it's ridiculous. The first time you meet Lance is at the Lake or Rage apparently, plus, you cannot give Magikarp, it's what's called a "useless Pokemon" and is banned from scramble challenges. To further this, Magikarp is a Water type. I already have three of those. I need three of a Different type.

-Dunsparce- Must be the 3rd highest pokemon in your party
